<h1>
Getting Started</h1>

<p>This document gives you all the information you need to get started
with utPLSQL: how to install the product, build a test package and run
your test. If you are new to unit testing, you should take a few moments
to review the Glossary to familiarize yourself with the terminology.
<p>And it is always worthwhile reviewing requirements before installing
the software!
